World Cup 2010: Paraguay model Larissa Riquelme eyes semi-final strip if Spain are defeated
A reason to cheer for the Albirroja...
By Daniel Edwards
The model has made herself famous in South Africa by appearing at the vast majority of the team's games; more often than not in skimpy tops and short skirts which have wowed supporters from all over the world.
And AS.com report that Riquelme is ready to go one step further should the Albirroja defy all expectations and beat European champions Spain on Saturday.
"If Paraguay reach the semi-finals or final I will strip naked in the [Asuncion central square] Plaza de la Democracia," she vowed in an interview with Argentine TV station Telefe, offering a slightly more enticing repeat of Diego Maradona's famous promise should his team taste success in Johannesburg.
Riquelme has been dubbed the "World Cup's girlfriend" for the ample airtime given to her, and freely admits she came out to South Africa in order to enhance her profile and grab attention for her modelling career.
"My idea was to become well known, but what has happened so far I am overjoyed with, the fact that it has crossed the borders of Paraguay and become worldwide is something incredible," she said.
